This visit is and can, by me, compared to a voyage among the ghost of my past that live securely within my heart and move like magic in my mind.

Good luck in the contest! Your poetry does a great job of conveying the feelings one has as they look upon the resting place of a dearly loved one. The descriptive words you've chosen to describe the sights, smells, and overall emotions are deep.

I enjoyed this well penned piece which conveys a great deal of feeling, indeed.

What a lovely tribute to your mom! Your words painted a gorgeous landscape that was full of life and hope. I'm sure you will remember her each time you see the magnolias, smell their scent and feel the petals beneath your feet. Thank you for sharing these sentiments.

Clever rhyming contributes to this tender walk among the magnolias. Even without the illustration it is easy to visualise the scene.

    I am delighted you enjoyed the visual imagery of "Walk," persevere. The 5-line stanza and ABABA rhyme pattern I borrowed from Robert Frost. Rod
